This is great to watch. I have inherited a SxS trade gun from an Aberdeen, Scotland maker in 500BPE that is about to go through this process (left for 40 years, broken through the wrist, excellent bore though) so Im really glad to see this.
Would you do more of these? I’m down in Tassie and have a 1800s I Hollis & Sons and a similar age Barton Co. Leigh that needs some work to tighten up the slip between the barrels as stock. I use the Hollis for clays with 7.5’s but it does have some pitting in the barrels
Good video to watch mate and great advice about taking time & not forcing things. Cheers

I can definitely help you out with that. Feel free to email me at HiCal.fo at gmail
Have you ever used the ultrasonic baths?
Ultrasonic cleaners are good for parts that cant be disassembled. They take a long time though, which slows down turn over.
Nice work, geez those firing pins were dodgy.

Thanks for the heads up, patreon doesnt give me notifications for messages which is super annoying and I dont know how to fix it
